You have expressed here exactly the pain I felt after we lost my nephew. He was only 4, how can God let 4 year olds drown? I was angry. I still am sometimes. I know it doesen't help but there is one thing the pastor said at the funeral that I will never forget.
He said how my family are all good strong Christians and it's unfair this happened, but that we shouldn't blame God. That it was the Devil who did this to try and break our faith. That we would be looked on by others in the community, and no-one would blame us for our anger at God because of Adrian's loss. And the thing is it just made us, the whole family stronger. All we could do is be there for each other.
You are right, there is only one way to fix this. I pray with you for a miracle. But if that prayer goes unanswered it's because of a bigger picture, none of us can fathom. It's not really any comfort. Each day that goes by, I try to see the reason in it. But I haven't found it yet.
